This is topped off by arguably the jewel in ASUS' crown on this occasion - The inclusion of a Lucid "Hydra" chip, to allow the use of multi-GPU configurations that mix AMD and NVIDIA graphics boards of varying specifications and configurations. We've previously only seen this chip launched on an MSI motherboard thus far, so it should be more than a little interesting to see how Lucid's technology fares when coupled with ASUS' Crosshair IV Extreme offering.
